                                                   #1001  EP. 10-15.


68.   EXT. HIGHWAY #7 AT OVERPASS:  LONG FULL
      Panel truck #7 as it roars down freeway TOWARD CAMERA and
      PASSING BELOW CAMERA.

69.   EXT. HIGHWAY #7 AT OVERPASS:  LONG FULL  (PAN)
      Panel truck #7 races TOWARD CAMERA as we PAN UP to catch The
      Copperhead poised on the overpass.  He follows movement of
      truck with his eyes and when it is presumably beneath him he
      jumps out of scene.

70.   EXT. HIGHWAY #7:  MEDIUM FULL  (PROCESS)
      The Copperhead drops into scene, lands on truck and rolls near
      rear edge.  Either slips over edge to back of truck or climbs
      over to it, but finishes up on rear of truck holding onto
      handles.  CAMERA FOLLOWS ACTION.  For a LATER CUT he reacts to
      the heavies' bullets just missing him.  The truck begins to
      swerve, making it difficult to hold on.

71.   EXT. HIGHWAY #7:  CLOSE FULL  (INT. CAR #2)
      Corey and Greg react to what they see.  Corey draws his gun and
      fires out the window.

           COREY:

           The Copperhead!  Where'd he come from?

           GREG:

           I don't know, but we're almost to the bridge.  Don't
           you think we oughtta do something?

           COREY:

           Yeah!  We've got to get rid of that snake before the
           boss gets to the bridge.

           GREG:

           Yeah, but what about the bomb?

           COREY:

           The boss should remember not to cross the bridge.
           But, we gotta get The Copperhead off his back.

72.   EXT. HIGHWAY #7:  LONG FULL  (TRAVEL)
      Panel truck #7 swerves to avoid heavies' shots.  The Copperhead
      is on the back.  RUN FOR CUTS.
